Default Help with Auto Meter air / fuel ratio gauge



Well I put this in and I thought I wired it correct but...............

the led lights jump all arould from the lowest of lean to the highst part of rich If at full throttle it stays at a steady led area but at any other throttle location including idle it going every where.

So I wired it into the white wire that is said by Auto meter over the phone to be the high sensor wire.

If you have on of these does it stay at a steady color or jump around like its a TWEAKER.

That's what it's supposed to do. The ECU goes from lean to rich, until WOT. That's when you are supposed to get your reading.

Did you happen to read the instructions that came with it. It should jump from lean to rich when cruising , but at WOT it should stay steady in rich.

Yes I did but I thought it would just be a little bit more stable.
